7. Align the two slotted holes in the bottom of the L-shaped bracket with the two slotted holes in the base of the tray. Secure the L-shapedbracket to the base by inserting two provided 6-32 x 5/16" screws through the aligned slots.

8. Move the PMK 350 up to the desired location on the ceiling pole, as close to the ceiling as desired.

9. Secure the L-shaped bracket to the U-bolt using the included hex nuts, washers, and lock washers. Tighten the hex nuts securely.

NBe sure to tighten the hex nuts securely enough that the

PMK 350 does not slide down the ceiling pole. A socket wrench is recommended to tighten the hex nuts.

10. Secure the front and rear plates to the mounting tray with four of the included #6 screws.

11. If desired, choose one of the provided four sizes of self- adhesive cover sheets, and apply it to the underside of the mounting tray.

Decora unit mounting

The HDMI 201 A D (Decora) transmitter and receiver can be installed in a one-gang electrical wall box with a Decora wall plate cover (supplied).

The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the wall plate’s size requirements.

UL/safety guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the Decora transmitters and receivers into a wall or furniture.

1. These units are not to be connected to a centralized DC power source or used beyond their rated voltage range.

2. These units must be installed in UL listed junction boxes.

3. These units must be installed with conduit in accordance with National Electrical Code.

Preparing the site and installing the wall box

Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. The box should be at least 2.5" (6.4 cm) deep to accommodate the connectors and cables. Install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the wall plate.

NThe Decora units are very deep and have connectors on the back side (figure 2-9). Extron recommends its 1-gang or 2-gang junction boxes (part #s 980130 and 980084), which have a depth of 2.5" (6.4 cm).

HDMI 201 Rx specifications

The Extron Electronics HDMI 201 Rx is a versatile and high-performing HDMI receiver designed for professional AV installations. This device is engineered to extend HDMI signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) using a single Cat 6a or better cable, ensuring that high-definition video and audio can be transmitted over long distances without compromising quality.

One of the standout features of the HDMI 201 Rx is its ability to support resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz, along with 1080p video at 60Hz. This makes it an excellent choice for environments where crisp, high-resolution visuals are critical, such as classrooms, conference rooms, and auditoriums. The receiver also supports various audio formats, including LPCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS, ensuring that users receive a comprehensive audio experience.

Another key technology employed in the HDMI 201 Rx is EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management, which allows the receiver to communicate with connected displays to ensure optimal performance. This feature helps prevent compatibility issues and guarantees that the video output is tailored to the capabilities of the display device.

The HDMI 201 Rx also incorporates a unique feature known as HDBaseT technology, which enables the transfer of HDMI signals, Ethernet, and power over the same cable. This simplifies overall installation, reducing cable clutter and minimizing the number of required components. Additionally, the receiver includes built-in support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to be powered through the same cable that carries the data signal, which can be a game-changer for ease of installation.

Integrators will appreciate the compact design and low-profile form factor of the HDMI 201 Rx, which allows for discreet integration into various environments. The unit is equipped with a set of LED indicators that provide real-time feedback on power, link status, and signal presence, helping installers monitor performance and troubleshoot effectively.

In conclusion, the Extron HDMI 201 Rx is a robust solution for extending HDMI signals over long distances while maintaining high-quality video and audio performance. With its support for 4K resolution, EDID management, HDBaseT technology, and PoE capabilities, it meets the demands of modern AV installations, making it a reliable choice for professionals in the industry.
